A photograph of four men at a carved sandstone temple wall with dense rows of figurative sculpture. In the foreground a smiling man in white kurta with a cream shawl and red tilak stands on a stone walkway beside a brass-railed barrier. Behind him, three men in saffron-orange robes stand in the temple area; one holds a bright yellow-orange umbrella over the group, and another wears a long rudraksha-style mala with a gold pendant. No figure is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance cues, so no identification is made.
